SHAL SOOLT. The members of the Union Club have prepared at their own expence (awe being no funds at the disposal of the local authomies for this or any similar purpose), a magnificent en- tertaivanent for Marsh a l S ou l t an d hi s su i te. M uch credit I$ def.: to the members of the Club for their exertions, and the a rrangements, so far as they have hitherto progressed, will ree.ect honour upon the taste and liberality of the Committee. It is understood that his Excellency will be received on his 'arrivel by the Borough-reeve and Constables, a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce, and the Committee of the Union Club, by whom he will be accompanied on his visit to Messrs. M'Connell's Factory, the Oxford Road Twist Com pany's Mills, Sharpe, Robert, and Co.'s works, and the pub lic institutions of the town. The entertainment will take place at 7 o'clock in the eve ning, and will be attended by the town authorities, the officers of the 3d Dragoons, 98th Foot, Artillery, 4c., &c. The ar rangements on this head are, however, still matter of uncer tain'cy, as it is not known whether his Excellency will remain bete to-night or proceed to Liverpool. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. --ARRIVAL OF MARSHAL SOULT.—His Excellency and suite reached this town at half past two o'clock, in two of the Company's Mail-carriages, which had been handsomtly fitted up for the occasion, amidst the enthusiastic cheeling of the vast crowds who lined the Railway, and all the avenues leading to it. Nothing could exceed the anxiety of the inhabitants of all classes to obtain even a passing glance at the Marshal ; and for some time all order was set at n-sught—the carriages were surrounded, and a proposition was actually made to carry him in triumph through the tovie. His Excellency was received by Colonel Wernyss, the Qommandant of the district ; the Boroughreeve and Constables, and a deputation from the Chamber of Com merce, and the gentlemen composing the Committee of the Union C 11413. As soon as the Marshal and his suite had taken their places in the carriages provided for them, the procession, which was headed by the civic authorities, proceeded up the Liverpool road, and along th e li ne o f route already described. The pro esion was closed by the carriages of many of the most in ffr.ential and respectable inhabitants of the town, and was ac reompanied by several thousand persons : the windows were filled with ladies, waving flags, scarfs and handkerchiefs, and adding inspiration by their presence to the hearty shout of acclaim which greeted the venerable warrior from every side, and which his Excellency acknowledged with that courtesy and politeness for which his nation has been always distin• guished. The entertainment at the Union Club will take place at seven o'clock this evening, and I shall take care to forward you il full report of the proceedings. NAVAL INTELLIGEI-'cCE.

FRIDAY raVENrs"G.- , ..Marshal Soult, RCCOM• panied his suite, arrived herelog, at eleven o'clock this morn his way to Manehester, from which it is understee4 he proceeds to-morrow morning to Liverpool. The journey from London was performed in six hours end a half, including stay of about an hour at Rugby, where the party breakfasted, and from whence they were conveyed to Birmingham by a special train, which was despatched to meet them at an early Lour in the morning. Every means were adopted to prevent the crowd aesembled at the station from seeing the gallant ve teran, and giving him that hearty and enthusiastic receptioe which he has everywhere received since his arrival in England. The gates of the station were shut to all but the Directors and their immediate friends, and gentlemen of the first re spectability were refused, admittance. Whether this rigid ex clusion to th e public r.rose from any w i s h expressed by the 'distinguished visitor or from the caprice of the authorities here is not known ; hot be it as it may, it was felt as a grievous disappointment by hundreds of the inhabitants of the town, who were in waitine; from an early hour to greet his arrival amongst them. The Marshal and his suite remained about half an hour at th e station, after which they started f o r Li verpool, via Manchester, in a special train pror.:ted by the Grand Junction Company. It was expected they would reach the latter place by two o'clock, that is, about the rate of forty miles an hour, including stoppages. Immediately after the depe.rture of the train a meeting of the most influ ential inhabi'tants of Birmingham of all parties assembled in the Town ).fall, for the purpose of adopting measures for in viting the gallant Marshal to a public dinner, on his return to the metre,pelis on Monday next, he having intimated his in tention e,f making a short stay here on his way to town. This matter vias soon arranged, and a dinner on as splendid a scale as the t.ime will permit will be given to Marshal Soult on Mfee.ay at D ee ' s R oya l H ote l .

The parrs and letters we havo seen this morning from Hamburg lead us to b e li eve t h at. t h e races next month will be unusually bril -1 ant. Who the royal and distinguished visitors will be is not yet stated, but one of th- Hamburg papers positively assures its readers, that on no former occasion have so many first-rate horses been entered for any Continental race. Among the priricipal horses named we observe the Duke of Augustenburg's Egremont, who is stated last year to hare beaten, on two occasions, all the English horses entered against him. •( The sire and dam of Egremont were both English.) Next, Mr. Fis.eber's Tynnesus, who beat Egremont last month at the Schles wig races, and means to try him again. Then follow a host of Continental note, for whom we cannot here find room. Among the horses that had arrived from England we notice the name of Mango, the winner of the Denenster St. Lever, and Phos phorus, th e w i nner of the Derby, both last. year. 'Phosphorus is at present .the property of the Duke of Brunswick, but Mango is supposed to have been sent over on a speculation. One paper gives it as the opinion of some of the knowing ones that Mango must either have fallen off very much . since his triumph at Doncaster, or that the horse sent over to Harnburgh under that name can scarcely be the real Simon Pure. A hint is even thrown out that the owner is willing to profit by the renown which the name of Mango has acquired, and to sell a spurious horse for a high price before the rave. Should this be a nluinny it can easily be contra dicted, and our columns shall be open for that purpose. On the whole the races of this year seem to excite even greater interest than they did a few years ago, when they were first insti tuted, and as they will come off next month, just as Parliament will be prorogued, m any Engli s h v i s i tors are looked for. As the steam-boats now rut,across from L cn d on to H am b urgh regular l y in 48 or 49 hours, and as Hamburgh is one of the few places on the Continent where foreigners are never troubled about passports, nor called on to submit to the annoyance of having their luggage examined, we know of few more delightful trips at this season of .the year. We expect in a few days to receive the nogratnine of these races, when we will not fail to communicate same further yarticulars to oar readers. ARRIVALS.

Countess of Chesterfield gave a soiree dansante on Wednesday evening at Chesterfield House, Mayfair. The suite of s a l oons were brilliantly illuminated for the dance, which commenced about half-pait eleven, and did not terminate until five o'clock on Friday morning. The company comprised three hundred of the elite of the beau monde. Last night (Friday, the 20th) his Excellency Sarim Effendi, Turkish Ambassador, gave a grand dinner at the Hanover. square Rooms, in honour of her Majesty's Coronation, to the Ambassa dors Extraordinars , the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers resident in this country, the Cabinet Ministers, and to some of our first Nobility. On Wednesday morning a number of engineers and directors belonging to the London and Birmingham railroad made an experimental journey from Denbigh Hall to the town of Kilsby, through the enormous tunnel leading to Kilsby. The journey was made for the purpose of trying the solidity of the road. The &stance from Denbigh Hall to Kilsby is ten miles, and the road will be opened to the public on the Ist of August next. Owing to the number of coaches either taken off the roads or conveyed part of their journeys by the railroads great in. convenience begins to be exQerieneed by persons desirous of reaching intermediate places, to which they find no conveyance as heretofore to travel by.

The Administration of Justice (New South Wales) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented petitions for the better ob. servant" of the Lord's Day, from Sidmouth, Kilmington, Axminster, Kingsbridge, and several other places; also a petition for the abolition of negro slavery, Great Shelton!, Cambridgeshire. Lord COLCHESTZR presented a petition praying that all able-bodied paupers might be allowed .‘o attend Divine worship in their parish church on Sundays. On the motion of Lord LA NGEis kLE, a Bill simplyfying the law relat. ing to the devise of estates, was read a .." P ' w , n a. d , 4; tim A e D. . A THE CHURCH IN o from the Rev. M. Tay. Lord WFIA RNCLIFFE presented a petitio7 • lor, Bachelor of Divinity of St. John's College, e. sJord, and Rector of Woodstock, Upper Canada, praying for the support o. the Established Church in Canada. The petition was entitled to great. weight, not only as coming from that gentleman individually, but as be. l . n g the delegate of a great number of the Clergy of Upper Canada. Lord GLENELG said it was his wish, as it was his duty, to support the Interests of the Established Church in Canada as much as possible. The Bishop of EXETER rejoiced that this petition had been pre sented by the Noble Lord. It was the duty of a Christian Go vernment to its colonies to see that the Protestant Church was supported there, more especially when that Government had encouraged thousands to emi lt 7rate from their native land to those colonies. Grcat responsibility att,:ched to the Government. Under such circum stances that responsibility w. 7., of a nature as should almost make them tremble. If the Noble Baron (t.7. l enelg) were not bound by the tram. mels of office, he (the Bishop of Exete7) was sure that he would be the first man to advocate with him the policy' and justice of sending the saving truths of the Gospel wherever our doilvdnions extended. The Noble Baron had said that the Protestant Clergy were Pot necessarily connected with the Protestant Church; but he must entertain notions widely different fromhis (the Bishop of Exeter's) regarding !he Church, if he did not consider that the clergy of a country must be cnnne:ted with the Church of a country, and that:the Protestant clergy meant the Clergy of the Protestant Church. That was the language of the law' of England ;he defied any Noble Lord to deny that. By the law of Eng-- land the clergy was, and ever had been, a word connected with the Church. But the Noble Baron had laid down another position, which, if advisedly made, was one of the most dangerous positions which had ever proceeded from a Minister of the Crown. The Noble Baron had insinuated that this case was net in the hands of the Crown, and that the Ministers of the Crown were not responsible, inasmuch as the opinions of the Crown Lawyers had been taken upon the subject. —(Hear.) Now he (the Bishop of Exeter) maintained that the Crown on its own responsibility selected its legal advisers, and upon its own re. sponsibility adopted or rejected the advice which those officers might give. The Noble Baron himself had almost admitted the necessity of an additional Bishop in Lower Canada; but though he stated that the Government would offer no objection of others could find the means of establishing that bishopric, he added that they could only sanction the measure, not pay for it. He (the Bishop of Exeter) must beg leave to say that that was not the mode in which the interests of the Protestant Church in that country ought to be treated. But mark ! What has been the conduct of Government to a Bishop of the Church of Rome in Cana da ? At the time when the resolution of Government:had been announced, to the effect that they could not hold themselves liable to give those sale. ries to the successors of the then bishops, which they had hitherto paid, they did grant an allowance of no less than 1,000/. to a person, then a Roman Catholic Bishop in Lower Canada. It was right that he should state that in the estimates for this year there was an allow ance of one thousand pounds a year to the Bishop of Quebec, in. steep of his former salary, which was 3,000/. ; but, whilst they gave the successors of the Roman Catholic Bishop LOON., nothing had been done towards supporting the Bishop of Montreal, or establishing an additional Bishopric. He must say that there was not equal dealing with the Ministers of the two Churches. Lord GLENELG would assure the Right Rev. Prelate that his belief was that ample spiritual instruction had been provided for the Protestants of the colonies. The Right Rev. Prelate had im puted to him a sentiment that the opinion of the law officers of the House exempted the Ministers of the Crown from all respor.siblity ; but he never uttered any such opinion. He complained of incidental discussions of this sort; it led to the greatest injustice and inconveni ence, without taking into view the whole state of the colonies, without looking at the whole subject, to take one detached part of that subject, and upon that incidentally to pronounce a decision, and to brand the Government with the neglect of the Protestant faith and interests, be. cause they were not prepared to throw everything into confusion by a gross violation of faith and right feeling with the colonies, in whose prosperity and well-being they had so deep a concern. The Right Rev. Prelate had talked of dereliction of duty. He should indeed be guilty of a great dereliction of duty if, having made an offer to the House of Assembly with regard to the distribution of the revenues of the Colony, which they had accepted, he had come to that House and proposed to ap propriate a proportion of those revenues. That was a breach of faith to which he would never consent. Lord WH A RNCLIFEE, in reply, contended that rectories eusht to be established throughout the colony as in England. The petition was then laid on the table. The Bishop of EXETER would now ask the Noble Baron (Lord Glenelg) the question of which he had given notice, and which was this whether in the instructions or official letter to the Earl of Durham, there had been any variation from, or modification of, the standing in structions given to his predecessors so far as related to his conduct to wards the Established Church, and towards those who were not in communion with that Church, especially the Roman Catholics. Lord GLENELG said that there had been no variation from the or. diaary instructions; but to satisfy the Right Rev. Prelate he would have no objection to produce the document. The Bishop of EXETER—Then I will move for it now. Lord GLENELG—No: on Monday. The Bishop of EXETER then gave notice that on Monday he should probably ask some questions upon the subject of those instructions. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the third reading ,of the International Copyright Bill was postponed till Tuesday. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave' notice that on the same day he would move the second reading of a Bill for rebuilding the Royal Exchange. The Treasurers of Counties (Ireland) and the West India Prisons Bills passed through Committee, and were reported without amendments. Several other Bills were advanced a stage. Lord GLENELG presented a petition from the Wesleyan Itfetho. dists of Caernarvon, against the encouragement of Hindoo idolatry. Lard MELBOURNE presented a similar petition, and also pcti. liens against the Irish Tithe Bill, and in favour of a reduction of postage; but we could not hear the names of any of the places from which they came. THE PLURALITY OF BENEFICES BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought up the report on this Bill. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, on clause 2, proposed the in. sertion of certain words for the purpose of introducing the limits. Cons, with regard to the distance, joint-yearly value, and population, which he wished to be affixed to the privilege granted to Archdeacons holding two benefices. The amendment was then agreed to. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY then brought up four clauses, of which he.moved the insertion in lieu of the 113th clause of the Bill. The clauses of the most Rer. Prelate, as w,e understood, related to the mode of ascertaining the real value of two livings in cases where they should be held by one incumbent. The clauses were agreed to. The Earl of CA WDOR suggested amendments, which, at the re quest of the Archbishop of Canterbury, his Lordship consented to have printed, with a view to their better consideration on the third reading of the Bill. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY suggested some amendments on several of the clauses, most of which were agreed to. The Report was then received, and the Bill ordered to be read a thirst time en Monday next. Adjourned at a Quarter past Nine o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JOLT 20. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. IDOLATROUS ‘VORSIIIP IN INDIA. Mr. EMERSON TENNENT presented a petition from the Wes leyan Methodists of Belfast, praying for the abolition 'of idolatrous wor ship in India. Mr. LOWTHER presented a petition from York on the same subject. Similar petitions were presented by Mr. Briscoe, from Westbury; Mr. Settlers, from Sligo; and Mr. Etwall, from Andover. Mr. E f WALL presented a petition from Andover, praying for the abolition of Church-rates; and another from the magistrates of the same neighbourhood against the Beer-shop system. Sir F. TRENCH presented a petition from Scarborough, complaining that the offerings made in idolatrous worship found their way into the ceff.•rs of the East India Company. Sir E. WILMOT presented a petition from the paor of the Pershore Union, complaining of not being able to attend public worship on a Sunday in consequence of the orders of•the guardians of that union, and praying. the House to repeal that part of the Poor Law Act, under which the guardians exercised so unconstitutional a power. KEMBLE przsented a petition from St. Giles's, Camberwell, against the alienation of Church property. Also a petition from St. George's, Camberwell, praying the House to take into its consideration the state of the Church of Lower Canada. THE FACTORY SYSTEM. Mr. FIELDEN presented several petitions from places in the North of England, praying for a Ten Hours Factory Bill, The first that the Hon. Member presented was from 26 toaster manufacturers of Lancashire, who collectively work up not less than three per•cent, of• all the cotton consumed in England, and whose petition stated that from their own ob servation theycould bear testitnony to the truth of the assertions of Mr. Richards, that the present state of the labourers in the mills is a " state of thraldom ;" and justice to them requires an Act to be passed, prohibiting labour in factories beyond ten hours per day. Another from 1,228 inhabitants of Stockport, com plaining of the long hours of work, and praying for a ten hours' Bill. These petitioners, however, express their want of confidence in the Parliament, seeing that it had often turned a deaf ear to their com. plaints respecting English children, while the "full grown and ahletic blacks, at many thousand miles distance, can find more favour at the hands of a reformed Parliament than the children of your pe titioners, amongst. whom many Members of your Honourable House reside, and not a few of whom have increased their wealth by the toil of the children of your petitioners."—(Hear.)• From the town of Huddersfield, in public meeting assembled, signed by the Chairman, a petition praying that the education clauses of the present Factory Act may be retained, and an uniform Ten-hours Bill passed; from a Public Meeting at Hyde, a petition praying for a ten.hours Bill, signed by the Chairman, from the inhabitants of Eliand, Yorkshire, concluding with the same prayer, and praying also that the Bill may be extended to silk and lace factories; a petition signed by four individuals, on behalf of the hand. loom weavers of Manchester, praying for a ten.hours Bill; from Ashton. under-Lyne, praying for the sante, and that it may extend to silk and lace mills; from Todmorden, assembled in public meeting, a petition signed by the Chairman, praying for the sa me. Mr. GILLON presented petitipns against further grants for addi tional Church accommodation in Scotland. Also many peitions from Surrey, Sussex, and Essex, praying that the grievous taxation upon in ternal communication by postage might be reduced. Mr. E. J.

Captain JONES presented a petition from the county of Londonderry on the subject of national education. Lord SANDON presented, a petition from the Bolton and Leigh Railway Company against the Mails by Railways Dill; also two pctition• IVA tr, from the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool againstpetitia ce f rtainprovieima g provisions rout . the Town Councilin t/ie of Imprisonment i,eipi, for protesting Debt against Dill; ; 1. .1 ai a I setts Bill, now be:see the House, by which they would on b s e 1 i d n ep t r h i e ved Pr a i- r Bridport against I the poser of appointing Mr. WA RB UR TO .Nll.7 re o s til ea c t e ed rs o a f t pe ;^c : g it a io o a l. from ( Hindoo processions.

LAN INDIA LABOURERS. In answer to Sir JAMES GRA HAM Sir G. GREY said it was his intention ' to proceed with t..

Mr. O'CONNL:LL .- s ed if the Government had received an Act of the Assembly of St. vim. •nt's, " for the suppression comb of ination and the settling disputei be t i•..een. master and ser vant ' —an Act which . appeared greatly to trench upon ahe advantages of negro fr eedom , an d if so, whether the Government hater, s Ceel to sanction it ? Sir G. GREY replied—He had rvem..ve• i such an Act a few days ago ; and he did not anticlpatethat the Governwlen t would agree to it.—(Hear.) Sir R. PEEL said the question was, if it ever. , quite clear whether the Governor.in.Council in India could legally pre. 'ent the emigration of native Hindoo labourers from India ? Sir GEORGE GREY said, on that point he must reserve himself until his Hon. Friend (Sir J. C. Hobhouse) was preeent. Sir J. GRAHAM enquired what was the intention of the Government with respect to the Hill Coolies in Guiana ? Sir GEORGE GREY was understood to say that it itas intended to 1 iseoe an Order in Council which would in all the Crown co 'miles invali date all contracts made by the natives of India or Africa, sinless those I se entreats were made after a certain time. mr. No'ARBURTON enquired if any answer had been rea . eived to the returrf ,, 'coved for by him, whether under the existing law of , Guiana the Magistrate. • had the power to enforce such contracts ? Sir G. GREY ,said there was on the table of the House the opin.'on of the Attorney- Gei :eral, stating that they had such a power. Mr. M`LEAN enter:ined what course would be pursued by Govers ment, with regard to the SpOeial Magistrates, where the negroes had been emancipated ? Sir GEORGE GREY said their ja'risdiction would cease with the Bill under which their special appointments' were made. But the Governor would be authorised by the Government to' retain the services of as many as might be deemed necessary. It was also the intention of the Go vernment to propose some plan with regard to Sti;nendiary Magistrates. Sir R. PEEL said that upon the point of the OW Coolies, consider. ing the advanced period of the Session, he felt it to see his duty to put one point to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. If he proposed to drop. the Bill for the regulation in this respect, and could give security for two years that there should be a prohibition of the practice of importing Coolies, he, for one, would support him ; but then he m en have a full guarantee that the Governor in Council had the le. gal poset.7- If there was any doubt on the subject, than he must re quire that a.o Act should be passed giving the Governor in Council full power to inforte' the prehibition. Sir ('.GREY dial not un a ierstand if any doubt existed that it would be suffered to remain. Mr. IirLEAN wisher: to kno. •.' whether any steps had been taken to alter the judicature in the West It: dies. Sir G. GREY said that great altaliations in the system of the judica ture of that country had been propos,o4a and all that was wanted was funds to carry those alterations into effect. FACTORY QUESTI. 9 N. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair upon the House going into a Committee of Supply, Lord ASHLEY rose to bring on his long-threaten `d motion on the Factory Question; and as the question was one of great .end paramount importance, he trusted he would be favoured with the patio; ace and at tention of the - House.—(Hear, hear.) Nothing would "ave in duced him to take the course that he was then pursuing but a deep sense of its necessity.—(Hear, hear.) He was sorry to do so, but had 1:e not taken such an opportunity, no other offering, he would have doubtcui of his own sincerity—at all events, that sincerity would have been doubted by thaw who had instrusted to him their dearest and best interest& The question was one of extreme importance, for by returns made up only to 1825, it appeared that the persons actually employed in the mills and factories of the kingdom, amounted to no less a number than 354,640. The num ber of persons engaged in the various branches of the cotton' trade was not much less than 4,000,000, of whom about 55 per cent. were females. Since 1816, the perio i when this subject first was brought prominently before the Legislature and the country, the labour of children between the ages of nine and fourteen had been increased fourfold. For whereas the gro,and travelled over per day at that time by children of those ages was Si ostiles—at the present period the distance amounted each day to twenity.five, .and in many cases to thirty miles.—Jlear.) He could prove this upon unexceptionable testimony ;by the ;stridence, among others, of the Hon Member for Oldham (Mr. Fielden), who had made the calculation in his Own mill. He (Lord Ashley) challe.nged issue upon these facts—and upon the effect of this excessive labour on the poor children employed.—(Hear.) Lest he should be in errororr these points, he had submitted his enquiry to one of the first Actuaries hr .Europe, who went into the enquiry with great accuracy, and not long age onade his report, upon which he takes credit. He stated that in those districts in which the Factory system extensively prevailed, as many persons died under twenty years of age as under forty in any other part of England.—(Hear, hear.) Not many days ago, he (Lord Ashley) received from Birmingham a document transmitted to him by Mr. W;ileem Pore, the Superintendent Registrar, who gave the result of a cominarison between the mor. tality of Birmingham and that of Mancl. ester. He (Lord Ash ley) had submitted this statement to the same A.. ctuary, and the following was the frightful and disgusting result. In Biraningham one.half the population attained their sixteenth year, wh;le in Manchester one half the population died within the first three years. It appeared, therefore, that the value of life was much greater in Virmingham than in Manchester, arising in part, no doubt, from the sue'eriority of its geographical position, but mainly from the supeeior nature of the employment, and the better habits of the PDrkmen.— (Hear, hear.) He (Lord Ashley) stated these facts to form his justification in endeavouring to impress on the House some notion of the vital interests involved in this question. What was the state of their morals in those districts ? No less than 60 clergymen had de. clared the vicious and awful condition of those places, and that there was scarcely any hope of imparting anything like moral or religious educe alms. In 1835, petitions were presented from 200 Sunday school t eae ,!iers to the same effect. Sheriff Allison, in Isis view of the state of Glasgow stated that a limitation of the hours of labour was necessary. H e s o me was asked whether he considered a limitation of labour would better Weil condition, to which he replied certainly; and added that nothing could l'-'e done without it. That was nothing more nor less than the fulfilment of the prophesy of the late Sir Robert Peel, that un less something was done the great efforts by which the manufacturics of the country' had been brought to their present state, instead of being a blessing, would prove a curse. Did the Noble Lord really think this question could be muted ? Did he think it would be forgotten by the people, because it w.,, ;tot listened to in that House?—;Cheers.) The evils were increasing Oai:" and hourly, and unless something was done it would be impossible to newer it. He wished to enter into this matter as if the Ten Hours',Bill had leo: Passed. A law had been introduced and passed by the present Gove.-„ e nent, and what he wished to know was, whether the Government woulli b aive him a full and final answer with respect to that law. If it were* a good law, would they keep it up ; if it were defective, would" .they amend it; and if bad, would they repeal it ?—(Loud cheer's„s The' history and state of the law was this—in 1833 lie (Lord .Ashley) introduced a Bill called the Ten Hours' Bill that mee.sure met with the confidence of the country; and Government 16 `llld something must be done—they therefore rejected his Bill, and brought forward a measure of their own. The Government gained the' applause'of the country by making their Bill more humane in appeeeance—by in. troducing clauses imposing upon the milLowners tine obli gation of a;:Owing efiiiilren two hours every day in the week - for education.—(Hear) These clauses immediately caught the sympathy of the public, but these very clauses wet • the very first to be systeniatically violated to the full knowledge of the Government. The Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) shook his head I But was it at all possible that the Government could remain io utter ignorance of the fact---could they believe that the law was gene a rany or even par tially obeyed throughout the country ? Why, even in August, 1834, only seven months after the Bill came into operation, ;Ir. Richards the Inspector for the populous district of Lancashire, sr ated that the law was systematically and openly violated—that the Act eQs made a jest of, and unless they were armed with power to carry i t out, . the 'office of instinct:ter would be an useless ode. He (Lord Ash ley) would not make out his case from any documents but the public .ae. parts, made four tames a year to the Ilon-e-office by their own inspectors*. Mr. Howell had also reported that it was quite im possible, without some further powers, to carry the educa tion and labour clauses into effect; and in a joint repert of all the Inspectors stated that unless further aid was afforded them their exertions would be ,utterly useless. In 1830, .Mr. Horner reported that she determination of Parliament, that no child under the age of thirteen should work more than forty-eight home weekly hail been grossly violated, and would continue to be so until the Inspectors had greater powers than they at present possessed. Notwithstanding all their cremplaints no proposition had been made to Parliament for further assistance to the inspectors. No doubt the Noble Lord might within the Jest few weeks have le_ ceived letters front the Factory districts stati'v that the law was batter observed. But was this a state of things to be p ermitted to continue t He admitted that if this House was to sit et..tring the twelve mouths, and allow him to snake a motion every week, the law might be observed without additional Powers; but no snorer would the House separate than every enormity would begin again. In April, 1838, Mr. Horner said there w,,a a great • intention to exclude the superintendents from the factories, and :r they were excluded (which the mill-owners had a perfect right to do), tha' law could not be enforced. What a state of the law was this ! He did not mean to make any charge in disparagement of the superintendents and inspec tors. Their zeal and diligence were greater than their powers. But the House would allow him to show in a few details the mischievous and shameful operation of this Bill. By the 31st clause of that Act, the Magistrates had power to mitigate the penalties imposed on conviction. Now, to what extent had the Magistrates carried that into effect? Why, ' to such an extent as to neutralise the force of the law. Mr. Horner said in his report, speaking of the Magistrates, that they, instead of visiting of fences in a proper manner, treated them with such lenity as to lead to a future violation of the law; so that the disreputable mill.owner looked only to the amount of the penalty and the amount of labour; and on casting up his accounts lie found it much more profitable to evade than obey the law.—(blear, hear, and cheers.) If such abuses existed, surely it was the duty of the Noble Lord to do ell In his power to correct it. As a necessary consequence of this, let Hots. Members look at the state of convictions between the Ist May, 1836, nod the Ist of January, 1837 ; between those periods there were 522 convictions, the greater part being tar over.working children without. aiirgeete.;• certificates. What would the House think when he had told t hem the nature of the offences, when he stated what the average penal. ties were-41. be. ? Between 1837 and 1838 the convictions were 800. Tire average of the penalties timing the last year was I/. •101. But could the House doubt for a moment that one hour's work of these poor children was more profitable for the mill. • owner than the paltry fine 1 Of course, if he employer( one fur an extra hour lie employed one hundred; and so the Incr. ciless griping ratian would obtain inure out of these poor wrett lied cre,tui es, than would pay tire hundred such trifling p ena l t i es. By toe returas before the House, it appeared that throughout the • who!e of Scotland, so tar as toe Inspectors were aware, slit, Act tees cbcycd—tor three yeses there had been no prosecution. It was, however, well known that the number of prosecutions was no criterion of the number of offences, in consequence of the difficulty of detection, and the immense difficulty of finding evidence. The House would hear with surprite that mill owners, sitting upon the Bench as Magistrates, edjudicated their own cases. There were certainly man y honountble ant/ bright excepti ons - b oth in and out of the House —and among these he would mention the Hon. Member for Derby (Mr. Strutt). Mr. Howell stated th a t mag i strates, being millowners o ften countersigned the certific a t es, en masse, instead of iedivide I' ' examining each; and atilt further w ant on to" " say, As if to {. x,n2. ?life the roNlile of the eauuter.siguature of the Magar-tes ~~ A.
